Historically, methods have evolved from simple vacuuming to more sophisticated techniques utilizing specialized equipment and antimicrobial treatments. The benefits extend beyond mere cosmetic improvements, potentially alleviating respiratory sensitivities and creating a healthier living or working environment.
